I’m surprised nobody got the clue about A Separate Peace. That book is a high school English class staple, which is how I first came to read it.
That category would have been a perfect time to drag in some Shakespeare, because there’s a very on-point quote from Richard III foreshadowing the deaths of the young princes in the Tower: “So wise so young, they say, do never live long.”
It was an optional summer reading book in my high school, but I chose to read Black Like Me instead. Oops!!
Steve Goodreau, no relation to Stefan Goodreau and John Goodreau.
@Richard Corliss — not as far as I know, no. But all American Goodreaus are descendants of two brothers who came to Quebec in the 17th century, so we’re at most 9th cousins or so!
Another great comeback from Mackenzie thanks to that daily double on good characters die young. Congrats to her on winning game six. She reminded me of Kerry Greene in where she dominated throughout her run. Although if Mackenzie didn’t bet anything, she Still will win regardless. But seriously, Elvis Presley? I thought Steve had heard of Johnny cash and decided to go for the king of rock and roll whom is honored by Jimmy Carter, VJ?
There you go again, Lou, knocking a player for what you think is a bad guess when it actually wasn’t. Obviously, Steve knew about Elvis and Nixon’s 1970 meeting. Seriously, indeed!
Plus Elvis had a HUGE hit w/ “Jailhouse Rock”! Doesn’t that semi-qualify him as an expert on penitentiaries?! 😋
Steve Goodreau here. I had the word “Folsom” stick in my head but couldn’t get beyond it, so went with the name I could pull out in the time I had remaining. It’s stressful up there!! . Mackenzie and Jennifer are both wonderful people and I am happy to see Mackenzie rocking it!!!
Hi Steve, thanks for stopping by. I think you did a darned good job under the stress up there just by finishing in the lead going into FJ! MacKenzie has gotten some super paydays in games with great challengers like yourself 😃
Thanks VJ!
MacKenzie, you are owning this! Go, MacKenzie! Whoo!!
